PAUL PARKER has delivered a withering assessment of Manchester United and says the current team is the worst the club has served up in Premier League history.
Parker says Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof are not good enough for the club and claims unless things change rapidly there are only darker times ahead for United fans.
And the two-time Premier League winner also insists there is no way Paul Pogba wants to be at the club and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs to ship him out as fast as possible.
Parker said:I would say this is the worst United team in the Premier League era.
“The deteriation from 2013 is just been really poor.
“They have only won three trophies since then and if something does not change ASAP, things will only get worse for the club.
I dont think Pogba has a future, which is something I am not happy about.
“With the way things went under the previous manager, things that were said and done, I am not sure he will still be there, and I dont think he wants to be there.
“With the current situation at United, they need players that want to be at the club and give everything they have got for the team, fans and the club.
If he wants to leave and the right price is being matched, I would get rid of him as soon as possible.
“If United were to get the right price, they could use it the other way and bring someone in.
“They need to be tactical with their signings as they need to realise that bringing in new players will not get them instant success. You cant buy instant success anymore.
Two players brought in at a big cost have been central defenders Maguire and Lindelof, who set United back 110million between them.
But ex-England defender Parker does not rate them as a pairing – especially questioning the 85m splashed out on Maguire.
Speaking to Bonuscodebets, Parker added:Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelf are not good enough. I dont know how they are going to improve on the two of them.
“They still have players who wont be taking United forward when you consider defenders like Jaap Stam, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic who were vital when United teams were winning.
Maguire has done okay. He has not stood out for me and for the money that United paid for him, he has not earned that.
“You look at someone like Virgil Van Dijk, who has absolutely been value for money, and you would go as far to say that he has exceeded that.
“I dont think they needed to spend that money on Maguire. They got pressured into getting him from the previous manger when they did not need to spend that type of money.
“United were also pressured into getting rid of Chris Smalling which has now been deemed as a mistake considering how well he is doing at Roma.
